Real good bits were Epitome's thoughts on Dream:
> I think he’s using you, and her. I think he sees women as action figures, to play with and add to his collection, and I think you deserve better, than to let yourself get taken advantage of by someone who’s a child compared to you.â€Â

And of course Bettie's rational.
> In turn, since I am an adult, I trust he will respect that, what I do, I do with my eyes open.â€Â
|
This does a lot to opening her up as a character one can understand and relate too.
Well done.

... But you missed another story that spotlighted Bettie's perspective:
Heavenly Bodies, or Foxglove Medicine, Apple Blossoms and Lost Girls Grown Old, by Elisabeth “Bettie†Barrie
